Audrey Briggs has never felt like she belonged. Living under the roof of cold-hearted step-parents who treat her like a burden, she's spent her life walking on eggshells, quiet, obedient, and dreaming of escape. When an envelope arrives with her name on it, everything changes. She's been accepted into the prestigious Valemont Royal Academy, a school known for transforming students into society's elite. But Valemont isn't just uniforms and courtly manners. From the moment Audrey steps onto campus, she keeps crossing paths, literally, with two boys who are strangely kind, fiercely protective, and inexplicably drawn to her. They don't know each other well, yet something about their bond feels... unbreakable. What Audrey doesn't know is that she's not alone in the world. She's not even a Briggs. She's Audrey Valestri and she has six brothers, two of whom live among her classmates, and four who operate in the shadows of power and crime. When the past catches up and secrets unravel, Audrey is forced to choose between the life she's always known and the family she never knew she had.

I will dismantle every version of a life you've built without me until the only thing left for you to lean on is my shadow. You aren't just a part of my world; you are the pulse I use to measure it." - Evander Laurent __________ In the hallowed, gothic halls of Ardencrest University, being a 'Ghost' is a survival strategy.

In a game of psychological warfare and dark obsession, Aurora must decide: will she break under his control, or will she learn to rule the shadows he created? He's not just watching her. He's rewriting her reality. ____ "The Crown Prince |18+" is the first book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series

If you ever try to leave me in the dark, I will drown this entire fucking city in so much blood you'll have no choice but to slip right back into my arms." - Landon Ashford To Hazel Bloom, Landon Ashford is a saint.
